patrons is the favorite resort for breakfast of
the swell walters IN the fashionable cafes and
restaurants before going on duty. AS a rule, it
| may be observed walters seldom care to take
their meals in their own places. Some of the
| outsiders" who frequent the place mentioned
| for dinner thought they would try the midday
| dejeuner, when they found the tables occupied

jubilee of her own. A few weeks hence it will
be fifty years since the first train steamed out
of Paris and reached the suburb of St Ger

journey and of the preparations for il. The
engine was English and the driver and stoker
were English too The engine ran ON four
wheels, and was O singular contrast to
present locomotives, hut the flrst-class car
Tiages were almost Of the same pattern as
that still in use on the line. The second class
were open, furnished with curtains to keen
off the sun, and beyond the curtains nets
were stretched to prevent too curious travellers
from losing their balance and their lives French
taste asserted itself in the departments of cos
tune and music. The guards had uniform of
blue and gold buttons and were supplied with
hunting horns. Great importance was attached
